Understanding Brake Rotors and How to Maintain Their Performance

Brake rotors, often referred to as brake discs, play a crucial role in a vehicle's braking system. Understanding their function and knowing how to maintain them is essential for ensuring your vehicle's safety and performance. Here is everything you need to know: What Are Brake Rotors? Brake rotors are key components in a disc brake system, working in conjunction with brake pads to bring your vehicle to a stop. They are typically made of cast iron or composite materials and are mounted on each wheel. When you press the brake pedal, brake calipers squeeze the brake pads against the rotors, creating friction that slows down and eventually stops the vehicle. The brake system's robustness and efficiency are all due to simple parts like the rotors - they really are that simple. There is nothing more reliable than the simple physics involved in the braking process ... read more
